Chris Moukas was one of the star players of Westfield State's powerful soccer teams of the 1970s. During his four years at Westfield, the Owls compiled an aggregate record of 61-13-4, captured two Mass. State Conference championships, and participated in four NCAA Tournaments, including a third-place finish nationally in 1974. 

The Athens, Greece, native ranks fifth on the College's all-time scoring list with 134 points (51 goals, 32 assists). The 1977 Westfield State graduate was an All New England selection during his junior year in 1975. He was a team co-captain in 1976 and received the Most Promising Freshman Award in 1973 when the Owls made their first NCAA Tournament appearance. In 1974, after his game-winning goal vs. Framingham State, the Owls were off to Wheaton, Ill., to challenge for the national title. 

After a successful tryout with the Dallas Tornadoes semi-pro team, Moukas continued to play soccer for seven years in his native Greece before a knee injury forced him to retire from the sport. 

Moukas grew up in Sydney, Australia and first started playing soccer for the Belmore Club and was on the Belmore school cricket team. In 1967 his family moved back to Athens. He attended the American Community Schools of Athens, where he played for the varsity soccer team and concurrently played for a club team. In 1972 he captained the varsity team. After graduating from high school, Moukas successfully tried out for a professional team. Unfortunately, his transfer to pro soccer fell through at the last minute because of a snag in his citzenship, which prevented him from signing on. 

For the past 17 years, Moukas has been director of studies at a prominent private language institute in the northern suburbs of Athen. He has been teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) for 23 years and has been an active member of the EFL community in Athens. Moukas has been a member of TESOL/Greece - a international teacher's association - for the past 13 years and is currently the vice-chairperson of the association. 

Moukas lives in a beautiful suburb on the outskirts of Athens. He is married to a wonderful woman, Mandy, who originates from Wales, United Kingdom, and is the head of the English department at a private school in Athens.
